I was really excited to go to Lidia's while in Pittsburgh for work. Had some drinks at the bar and they have an extensive Italian wine list.
Our service was a little delayed but once our waiter was available he was knowledgeable and continued to check on us. He was a little awkward but attentive.
The mussels were a little "fishy" to my taste but the remaining dishes we ordered were great and so were the bread bowl options. I enjoyed a gnocchi special. The pasta trio is typically the recommended choice but I wasn't in the mood for what was prepared that day.
Overall I would give it a B.
